Open Air Village

06/02/2026

Late post because social media has been out of site, out of mind lately!
🏆 We (Bryan and Nicole) received a pretty cool award this spring— the Five Rivers Metroparks OUTstanding Teachers of the Year award in the Early Childhood Education category! We were completely surprised by the nomination and couldn’t be more proud of the recognition for following our dreams. Huge thanks goes to all the families, friends, and fellow educators who have supported us over the years. Open Air simply wouldn’t be here without our “village!” 🍃

We spotted a traveling bee hive near our play yard! How lucky are we to have beekeepers in our village? Mr. Bryan had the chance to get into a beekeeper suit and learn from Grant Early Bird Farmette! A 10/10 experience! 🐝
